A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 284

Eleanor went silent and didn’t reply to him. Her indifferent eyes seemed emotionless, leaving Ethan puzzled.

Eleanor clenched her fists and asked instead, “So, Mr. Ziegler, can we get divorced?”

Ethan’s expression froze, and he didn’t respond. Eleanor continued, “Mr. Ziegler, I’m well aware that you see me as my sister not just because of this heart but also to alleviate your guilt towards her.”

Ethan scoffed upon hearing this. ‘How could I possibly feel guilty towards her?”
